Caller Challenges Greg: God, Prayer Cannot Change Tomorrow | Sin Is Immoral Dogma Used to Control!

About this sermon

Greg answers questions about whether prayers are pointless if God knows what will happen, why we would be held responsible for Adam and Eve’s decisions, how John 3:13 could say no one has ascended into Heaven, and interactions between non-physical things and physical things. 0:00 Introduction with comments on Atheism and entailment 3:05 If God knows what will happen tomorrow, then God cannot change tomorrow, which means all prayers are null and void and cannot change anything. 19:38 Why would anyone be responsible for Adam and Eve’s decisions? The idea that we’re born sick and in need of a savior is simply immoral and unjust Christian dogma meant to control your mind. 34:53 How do you reconcile John 3:13 (which says that no one has ascended into Heaven) with Lazarus (whom Jesus raised from the dead) and with 2 Corinthians 5:6–9 (which says that to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord)? 44:43 A caller shares her STR story 45:43 A Jehovah’s Witness said sin became embedded in Adam and Eve’s DNA, and I asked how something non-physical can be embedded in something physical, but then I realized that I do think our soul can interact with our body, so what is the difference between these two ideas? #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #BibleQuestions #Theology ––––– CALL IN TO THE STAND TO REASON PODCAST ––––– Have a question or comment?
